Selling my beautiful Fender CS Artisan Thinline Strat.
This guitar is not only beautifully crafted with top-quality woods but the sound that produces with the hand-wound Fat 60s and the Thinline body is just superb.
Very lightweight and resonant, it's truly a great guitar.
This one was sold by GuitarGuitar for £5,000 new, very few on the market, especially the Koa one.
The guitar is basically brand new, I just changed the strings, set up the action low and played it a few times.
All the case candy, CoA, Traveller Shop print and leather strap comes with the guitar.
Price: £3,600 (There is one in the market for £4,300 but I think that's pushing it) Bank transfer and collection in person, I can pack the guitar in its original box if you take care of the courier.
Part exchange: a good condition 335 with a slim neck either Custom shop/61 Re-issue, or a good condition 335, money can go
both ways.
